7yr Olds & Cheerios

Incredibly exciting day eh? Well, pretty much 'recovered' from that whole RazerCPL event. Good fun. The QIL3 teamplay finals are coming up next in California in just a couple of weeks. Isnt this one just amazing. Some 7yr old kid drove off in his parents car using 'skills learned at a computer game' going through busy intersections and traveling 3 miles in search of some Cheerios because he ran out at home. General Mills heard about the kid and is gonna hook him up with a year supply of the cereal now. Anyone else find it curious how the press glosses over the fact that the kid could have easily gotten killed? Oh yeah, he could have at least been after a good cereal. Cheerios? WTF? Get some fruity pebbles or Froot Loops or something.

    if anyone has taken the most basic course on psychology, or has a functional brain, you know what's wrong with this story; kid steals car; kid drives to store putting his life and countless others at risk; kid gets free Cheerios, heaps of attention, and God knows what else (not to mention he's 3yrs old. 3 being one of the most impressionable ages). this sort of thing is the perfect* example of what's wrong with the media, not to mention this kid is going to turn into one fucked up adult, and probably make his parent's life complete hell until he gets kicked out.
